getting ready to plant corn | Life on a Colorado Farm

I’m gradually, gradually, gradually making headway in my yard. As for my house–well, it’s clean and picked-up, that about it. The other house–my time waster— is starting to get there. I have the bedroom just about finished painting-I should finish tomorrow. The lawn is mowed and raked down there and all the bushes raked and pruned ready for spring.

The new renters move in on Sunday. (Ask me if I’m excited or what!) The man and woman came over yesterday to make arrangements to move in on Sunday. I can SEE THE LIGHT!

Today Terry starts planting corn. I will plant sweet corn at some point down one side of one of the fields. I had one row last year, but that was a huge field. This year some of the corn will be in front of the house, which is only 5 acres. I think I will plant two rows of sweet corn, next to the side which is next to canal—I’m looking for ease of picking.

I am so excited about the renters finally getting here, you just don’t understand how excited. The work load, of just maintaining that place, and this place, plus every day living has been over-whelming. Soon! Very Soon! I can move from maintaining into ‘getting-my-stuff-that-has-been-hanging-over-my-head’ DONE! ♬♬♬ YAY!
